Nanoparticles of a polyaspartamide-based brush copolymer for modified release of sorafenib: In vitro and in vivo evaluation.
2017
Abstract In this paper, we describe the preparation of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with sorafenib for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A synthetic brush copolymer, named PHEA-BIB-ButMA (PBB), was synthesized by Atom Trasnfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) starting from the α-poly( N -2-hydroxyethyl)- d , l -aspartamide (PHEA) and poly butyl methacrylate (ButMA). Empty and sorafenib loaded PBB NPs were, then, produced by using a dialysis method and showed spherical morphology, colloidal size, negative ζ potential and the ability to allow a sustained sorafenib release in physiological environment. Sorafenib loaded PBB NPs were tested in vitro on HCC cells in order to e…
Characterization of particle morphology of biochanin A molecularly imprinted polymers and their properties as a potential sorbent for solid-phase ext…
2014
Abstract Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with biochanin A as a template were obtained using a bulk polymerization with non-covalent imprinting approach. The polymers were prepared in acetonitrile as porogen, using ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as cross-linking agent. The synthesis, with an application of 1′,1′-azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile) (ACHN) as an initiator, has been performed thermally. During the synthesis process the effect of different functional monomers such as methacrylic acid (MAA), acrylamide (AA) and 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) was investigated. The application of nitrogen sorption porosimetry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spec…
Interfacial stabilization by soft Janus nanoparticles
2016
Abstract The stabilization of water/air, water/oil and water/solid interfaces by Janus particles with polystyrene (PS) and poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) hemispheres was systematically investigated. The stabilization of these interfaces is of relevance for the formulation of foams, emulsions and dispersions. The Janus particles were prepared from micellar solutions of polystyrene-b-polyisoprene-b-poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) (PS-PI-PtBMA) triblock terpolymers by selective cross-linking of the polyisoprene domain on a multi-gram scale, followed by hydrolysis of the PtBMA block. For the investigation of water/oil-emulsions a series of hydrophobic oils (paraffin oil, xylene, peanut oil, isopro…
Die Herstellung einer molekulareinheitlichen Tri-, Tetra- und Pentamethacrylsäure. V. Mitt. Modelle für Matrizenreaktionen
1968
Vom p-Kresol sowie einer phenolischen Zwei- und einer Dreikernverbindung wurden mit verschiedenen Acylierungsmethoden Methacrylsaureester erhalten; die Zweikernverbindung enthielt danach zwei und die Dreikernverbindung drei Methacrylreste. Loste man diese Methacrylsuureester in groser Verdunnung in siedendem Benzol und lies gleichzeitig einen grosen Uberschus an Radikalen aus α.α′-Azoisobuttersauredinitril einwirken, so wurde beim Methacrylsaure-p-kresylester eine Polymerisation unterdruckt. Bei den mehrfachen Estern der Mehrkernverbindungen wurde die polyrmerisationsahnliche Additionsreaktion auf die einzelnen Molekule begrenzt (intramolckulare Polymerisation); sie ergab neben einer cyclis…
New Self-Assembling Polyaspartamide-Based Brush Copolymers Obtained by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization
2009
A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of polyaspartamide-based brush copolymers using Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) is here presented. The syntheses were performed by using two subsequent steps. In the first step the macroinitiator was obtained by the conjugation of a proper number of 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BIB) residues to the R, -poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)-D,L-aspartamide (PHEA) side chains, obtaining the PHEA-BIB copolymer. PHEA-BIB copolymer was used as “multi-functional macroinitiator” for the polymerization via ATRP of hydrophilic methacrylic monomers, such as methacrylic acid (MA), obtaining PHEA-IB-poly(MA) copolymer, sodium methacrylate (MANa+), obtaining PH…
Compatibility between polystyrene copolymers and polymers in solution via hydrogen bonding
2006
Abstract It has been applied the concept of improving miscibility, by introducing and optimizing the extent of intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions between two polymers. We select a commodity polymer such as polystyrene, to study the compatibility in chloroform with poly(vinyl pyridine) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), both considered as proton acceptors. In order to enhance polymer–polymer miscibility, polystyrene is slightly modified by copolymerization with methacrylic acid, in the first case, and with vinyl-phenol comonomer, in the second one. In this way, two series of polystyrene-based copolymers are synthesized and characterized bearing ca. 8% (w/w) of –OH groups. The miscibility…
PHEA-graft-polymethacrylate supramolecular aggregates for protein oral delivery
2013
Abstract Salmon calcitonin (sCT) is characterized by a poor oral availability. A new copolymer, β-poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)-graft-{N-2-ethylene[2-poly(methacrylic acid sodium salt)isobutyrate]}- d , l -aspartamide (PHEA-IB-p(MANa + )), was designed for the oral administration of sCT through the formation of supramolecular aggregates (SAs) based on electrostatic interactions. Several sCT/PHEA-IB-p(MANa + ) weight ratios were characterized by turbidimetry, DLS, zeta potential, and microscopy analysis. After the incubation of sCT/PHEA-IB-p(MANa + ) complex with digestive enzymes, 10% (w/w) of loaded sCT was released in the native form. In vitro investigation was carried out to determine the copol…

Effect of cyclic loading on fracture strength and microleakage of a quartz fiber dowel with different adhesive, cement and resin core material combin…
2010
Background: This study evaluated the performance of different adhesive-cement-core combinations coupled with quartz fiber dowels after cyclic loading and fracture strength tests and assessed the microleakage using dye penetration method. Methods: Forty maxillary canines (n=10 per group) were restored with fiber dowels (Quartz fiber DT Light Post) and four adhesive-cement-core material combinations [(Group 1: All-Bond 2+C&B (root) / All-Bond 2+Biscore (core); Group 2: All-Bond 2+Bisfil 2B (root) / All-Bond 2+Bisfil 2B (core); Group 3: Scotchbond 1+RelyX ARC (root) / Scotchbond 1+Supreme (core); Group 4: RelyX Unicem (root) / Scotchbond 1+Filtek Supreme (core)]. The specimens were initially c…
Preparation and characterization of dummy-template molecularly imprinted polymers as potential sorbents for the recognition of selected polybrominate…
2018
The main aim of this work was to conduct the preliminary/basic research concerning the preparation process of a new dummy molecularly imprinted polymer (DMIP) materials. Developed DMIPs were proposed as a sorption material in solid-phase extraction (SPE) technique for recognition of selected low mass polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) – PBDE-47 and PBDE-99. Four new DMIPs were synthesized employing bulky polymerization technique by application of structural analogue of low mass PBDEs - 4,4′-Dihydroxydiphenyl ether, as a dummy template. The DMIPs and corresponding non-imprinted polymers were prepared using different functional monomers: methacrylic acid; methyl methacrylate and different…
